The auto body and collision repair center opened in 1973. Proudly owned and operated by Dean and Tina Pickel, and previously owned by Dean’s uncle, Sunshine Automotive provides a lifetime warranty, and is the first repair facility in Florida to be nationally guaranteed by AAA Auto Club’s Approved Auto Repair program.

"We feel that keeping the business within our community and within those businesses that help the community is one of the most important things a small business can do. Sunshine has slowly developed a network of local businesses that we know and trust, and we don’t hesitate to recommend them to our customers. Our long-time customers know that they can call us for anything, and they do!"

"So many times we will hear from a new customer that they are the now-grown granddaughter or grandson of a patron we have known for many years. It's so interesting to help a family with their vehicle, and then help their children and now their children’s children. It's also nice to have someone walk into our office and tell us that they don’t even need an estimate. They KNOW that we are fair and honest and wouldn’t take their vehicle anywhere else."
